Who is Funshine Bear?

Funshine Bear is one of the Care Bears, a colorful bear whose sunny disposition and cheerful symbol reflect a mission of spreading happiness and positivity. The character debuted in Marvel's comic adaptation of the beloved Care Bears franchise in 1985.

Straight from the sunlit pages of Marvel's Star Comics imprint, Funshine Bear made their debut in Care Bears #1 in 1985 — a Bronze Age arrival courtesy of creator Howard Post — and went on to brighten comics shelves across an impressive 34-year publishing span. A fixture of the beloved Care Bears corner of the Marvel universe, Funshine Bear keeps wonderful company alongside Grumpy Bear, Tenderheart Bear, Cheer Bear, and the rest of that iconic, warm-hearted cast. Whether you're a nostalgic collector who grew up with these characters or a newcomer discovering the charm of Star Comics, Funshine Bear is a cheerful piece of comics history well worth tracking down.
